Solo Episode •Host: Mark Goldstein • 46 min 17 sec Episode Description If you are HIV-positive and thinking about retiring abroad, you have probably researched the cost of living, visas, and LGBTQ+ rights. But there is one question almost nobody addresses directly: what actually happens to your antiretroviral medications when you move? Will you be able to get them? Will they be covered? Or will you arrive in a country where you are suddenly paying thousands of dollars out of pocket every month for medication you cannot live without? In this solo episode, Mark Goldstein digs into the research to give you real, sourced, country-by-country answers. He opens with a surprising look at Spain — where a legal paradox means undocumented residents have more HIV treatment rights than Americans on a legal Non-Lucrative Visa — then walks through ten countries evaluated against three clear criteria: LGBTQ+ rights, retirement visa access, and genuine HIV treatment availability.
